Description
There was a new crosswalk added for safety as the number of kids walking to school has dramatically increased. This morning I witnessed a car fly through intersection while kids were walking across the road. There need to be either stop signs added, flashing lights, or speed bumps for the safety of the hundreds of school aged kids crossing here.

Good morning,
An investigation has been completed and it was determined that the crosswalk is visible from Dairy St and Early Morning St, and the sign are visible and good conditions. At this time no supplementary sign are needed.
As speeding is an enforcement issue, I encourage you and other residents to contact the Howard County Police to request enforcement - it would aid them if you can provide them with a typical time of day you notice speeding the most. An alternate option is to request the HCPD deploy a radar speed feedback sign; this device is temporarily installed on a rotating basis. Both requests can be made through the HCPD non-emergency number, (410) 313-2929.
HCPD is accepting the reporting of non-emergency traffic complaints via online reporting at the following link: https://www.howardcountymd.gov/police/report-traffic-complaints. Complaints are being accepted in three categories, Isolated Traffic Incidents, Recurring Traffic Incidents, and Parking Complaints. The internet portal is what is used by HCPD to determine and schedule enforcement.
Thank you for contacting our office with your concern. I apologize our office is unable to assist you further with your request.
